# Premiere Path Settings Action

With the help of the Premiere Path Settings Action V2, all available paths that can be set in the project settings, can be pointed to a pre-defined location.\
This covers various paths for the scratch disk as well as the ingest settings tab in the project settings

**This node can be used while creating opening a project**.\
No path is set by default, but the auto save location template is the one that should be set to use the HelmutFX "restore saves" function. By default the following wildcard can be used for the auto save location: {project.parent}/Saves

HelmutFX expects all auto save files to be saved in this folder. Every other path can be set as desired.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Please make sure that any folder/preset exists in advance as missing folders will lead that Premiere Pro replaces the path setting to its default value!
{% endhint %}

**Project settings - scratch disk**

* Project path - *{project.path}*
* Capture video/audio location - any folder
* Video/audio preview location - any folder
* Auto save location - *{project.parent}/Saves*
  * *make sure this folder has been created in advance*
* CC libraries location - any folder

* Preset path - any folder pointing to an ***Adobe supported*** epr file
* Copy destination - any folder
* Proxy destination - any folder

Before any manipulation of the project file is executed, a backup of the project file will be created with the extension '\*.prproj\_backup'. If the manipulation encounters an issue, such as creating a 0 KB project file, the backup file will be used to replace the corrupted file.

The prproj\_backup file is created by the following nodes:

* [Premiere Version Converter Action](/helmut4-releases/v4.10.0/helmut4-components/streamdesigner/nodes/actions/adobe-premiere-pro/premiere-version-converter-action.md)
* [Premiere Path Settings Action](/helmut4-releases/v4.10.0/helmut4-components/streamdesigner/nodes/actions/adobe-premiere-pro/premiere-path-settings-action.md)
* [Premiere OS Path Mapper Action](/helmut4-releases/v4.10.0/helmut4-components/streamdesigner/nodes/actions/adobe-premiere-pro/premiere-os-path-mapper-action.md)
* [Premiere Generate UUID Action](/helmut4-releases/v4.10.0/helmut4-components/streamdesigner/nodes/actions/adobe-premiere-pro/premiere-generate-uuid-action.md)

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.helmut.de/helmut4-releases/v4.10.0/helmut4-components/streamdesigner/nodes/actions/adobe-premiere-pro/premiere-path-settings-action.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
